Christmas is coming...

Christmas is coming

the Goose is getting fat

Please put a penny in the old man's hat

This is the first year I've managed to catch on about this  Christmas lark... it seems to involve a lot of eating.  Here we are - an early Christmas dinner - Granddad declared it the best pudding he had ever tasted - which given he is exceptionally old, is something of an accolade!

This is also the first year I've managed to make some Christmas arts and crafts - a whole set of plum pudding Christmas cards, a paper plate angel, a number of pictures, a crown and a gaggle of little toilet roll penguins.  I won't bore you with pictures of all those things.  They are however exceptionally good - just look how pleased Granddad is to receive his!

Grandad and Gran Kat took me to the fair with Mummy and Daddy.  It's not the first time I've ever been on a carousel - but it is the first time I was thrilled to do so.  I also rode in the front carriage of the rollercoaster - Granddad bought the picture that they snap of you as you round the fastest loop!  That shows he is mellowing out in old age... (according to Mummy!)

This is me at the Christmas Market at Santa's Post Box - I'm finding Santa a little bit overwhelming this year - maybe next year I'll be more interested?

Moving swiftly on, I'm more than happy to give Stollen and sweet German biscuits a try....

Finally, this is our tree - all the presents are for me!
